"Nicholson Vineyards was so accommodating to us! When we visited, we had a 10-month old who had just fallen asleep in her car seat after being very fussy and crying through the entire last winery. We asked if we could stand by our car to do the tasting since we didn’t want to wake up our daughter. They did us one better - they moved a table right in front of our car so we could enjoy tasting while keeping an eye on her. Amazing! The wines were wonderful. The views were wonderful. We bought a couple bottles and the olive oil - so good! Can’t wait to come back."
"Wonderful place. Best service. Super good price for a tasting. Lovely patio and atmosphere. You sit right by the wine field. We loved it!"
"We were two families out for wine tasting on a lovely day, but warning: don’t bring your kids to this winery—not a child friendly venue. We sat at outdoor picnic tables and the kids wanted to run around and play. It would have been easy to have some lawn games for kids to stay engaged away from the adults, but nope. The staff followed the kids around, policing them and telling them everything they couldn’t do. We sent them off property to play elsewhere and the staff followed them and told them they couldn’t play there either! Totally ridiculous."
"We met friends at Nicholson Vineyards and the experience was great. The tasting menu had 5 wines: viognier, chardonnay, pinot noir, petite sirah, and zinfandel. Our server was professional and the wines were a treat. The surroundings are beautiful and we enjoyed every minute. We didn’t order food except the raspberry dark chocolates at the end and they were amazing. You’ll need a reservation here, so plan ahead. Also, totally dog friendly. We left ours at home, but there were many well-behaved pups here and they added to the experience."
"We're new to the state, and Nicholson was the first winery we checked out. We felt totally safe during COVID with their (easy, online, same-day) reservation system, distanced and sanitized tables, and respectful group of fellow customers. Not only that- but they were highly communicative, let us sit early for our time slot, and were extremely kind and warm throughout our tasting. We also truly enjoyed all the wines on the tasting menu. We'll be back!"
